A new strategy of parallel feature fusion is introduced in this paper. A complex vector is first used to represent the parallel combined features. Then, the traditional linear projection analysis methods, including principal component analysis, K-L expansion and linear discriminant analysis, are generalized for feature extraction in the complex feature space. Finally, the developed parallel feature fusion methods are tested on CENPARMI handwritten numeral database, NUST603 handwritten Chinese character database and ORL face image database. The experimental results indicate that the classification accuracy is increased significantly under parallel feature fusion and also demonstrate that the developed parallel fusion is more effective than the classical serial feature fusion.
